Worst merchant

[helpsy]

Who in your opinion is the worst merchant and branch you have had dealings with? Mine is Plumb Center, Chippenham, Wiltshire. Should give them an award... The Golden Turd.

Plumbcenter slough. Wouldn't let me use the toilet when I had the trots.

The definition of a Merchant would be an individual or organisation that had (popular) goods available in stock for sale.

I hardly think P-C fit that description, so on that basic they should be excluded from this thread.

Who in their right mind is gonna let YOU in their crapper then you've got the squibs?..........but you are right about Bumcentre.

 

[T & H Plumbing]

Williams n Co didn't get ma jelly babies last order hahaha haha

Joking aside don't like Grahams Nationwide

 

[Masood]

Plumb centre Tottenham. Lazy, arrogant and rude staff. Don't know anything about plumbing products and can't be arsed finding out.

 

[Barry98]

grahams halifax now shut down lol

I find City Plumbing hard work and try to avoid them now. Never go near Grahams due to high £`s and Like the fact that in Oxford Plumb centre, Build centre, Drain centre etc are all in the same small industrial estate and the guys seem to be ok most of the time.

Anyone been to that small independent plumbers merchants in Isleworth run by Indians, went in there a couple of times as it was right next to a job I was doing. The bloke serving makes you find what you want in a toolstation catalogue as he doesn't know the names of fttings.

Its annoying when u get a plumb centre and drain centre in the same unit. Buy a few copper bits then ask for a 4" fitting only to be told u need to go to drain centre on the next counter and join that que...Ridiculous!

Its always more expensive than the catalogue, wouldn't be surprised if that's where he buys his stock from.

Well I must admit the best merchants locally to me is a plumbcenter. It's North Sheilds and the staff are fantastic. I have all my parcels delivered and collected from there I never have an issue and *most prices are awesome. I do treat them civil though and take the odd butty and Xmas tip in

There are 6 other bumbs local and they are pretty much as described

 

[R.Oak]

I use Yeovil Plumb Center almost exclusively. The staff are great and very knowledgeable.

 

[WaterTight]

Another for Plumb Center. I have visited about 6 branches. All balls to the brim.

 

[PlumbersMate]

Worst one I've been is on Berwick St in soho, tried to charge me £4 for a 15mm soldered cap. First time I wet my pants in public since I was 4

 

[markfxy]

just priced 3 newbuilds cheapest quote came back from bumcenter:whatchutalkingabout much as I hate to use them I can't afford not to at the moment

Would have asked kindly to speak to woolsey accounts and simply tell them to close my account . We were once shafted by Pts . They overcharged grand or so in fittings one month. We used different branch - terms were not set. £7 for 28mm straight. Asked area rep to sort it .... He didn't. Paid account excluding what we were owed.

Told them where to go. Few letters few threats and that was it. Till we did about £5k of work in a Travis branch. - they wouldn't pay...... We got paid they still owed money. Not going there again

 

[squidlips]

plumbase industrial in portsmouth,, they only have one bloke in there and he is a village.you end up going and picking your own fittings or wait for an hour while he looks at the computer screen finding the location of the fittings you want..
